    Question to AI ""were there fires at chicken farms during the recent egg shortage""

    AI answer. ""Yes, there were significant barn fires at chicken farms during the recent egg shortage, with five of the seven reported fires resulting in the loss of approximately 1.4 million hens. These incidents contributed to the challenges faced by the egg industry during that period.""

    Regarding bird flu, you have to trust the bird flu test is legit and that it was necessary to kill all those birds, all from the people that lie to us constantly. Like the most common test for Covid the PCR, well the inventor of the PCR test Kary Mullis came out and said it was not at all a legitimate test for viruses, right before he died unexpectedly.

    And regarding eggs I'm not talking about eggs used in the production of vaccines, I'm talking about eating eggs interferes with the replication of the spike protein. Hmmm, I wonder why a bunch of chicken farms burned at the same time they were culling millions of chickens because of "bird flu"?

    AI is not one of my go-to sources, but checking up, I see you left out a bunch:

    "AI Overview

    Yes, several major fires occurred at large commercial egg farms during recent periods of egg shortages and avian flu outbreaks. These incidents resulted in significant property damage and the loss of hundreds of thousands of chickens, further impacting supply.
    Notable fires include:

    • Iowa (March 2026): A massive fire broke out at the Hawkeye Pride Egg Farm in Corwith, Iowa, destroying several buildings and flocks. The facility is one of the leading egg producers in the country.
    • Connecticut (March 2026): A 3-alarm blaze destroyed a large chicken house at a Hillandale Farms property in Bozrah, killing approximately 100,000 hens amid ongoing egg price and supply concerns.
    • Ohio (February 2025): A major fire destroyed an egg farm building housing thousands of chickens in suspected bird flu zones, adding to the poultry industry's supply pressures.
    • Connecticut (June 2025): Another 3-alarm fire struck a different Hillandale Farms chicken house, wiping out the birds living in the facility.
    While these farm fires have contributed to localized or national supply strains, the primary driver of recent egg shortages has been widespread outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu). "

    I must note that:

    * all those listed fires were after P47's Inauguration, so could not have contributed to the pre-Election shortage and campaign issues and promises;
    * it attributes the primary cause of the egg shortage as bird flu, not barn fires
    * With a total chicken population of about 1.5 billion birds, and well over 300 million of them being laying hens, the loss of a couple hundred thousand or so birds in each of a half-dozen-ish barn fires, doesn't have all that much impact on chicken and egg supply.

    Well, at least I now know where the saying "What does that have to do with the price of eggs" when the thread was about the fuel price at the pump at the moment .....

    I can see the US population really does have it's work cut out for it if it ever wants to return to the world that exists outside the US borders .... I am stunned about how little analytical thinking seems to occur, "because so and so said, so it must be fact" makes it very hard to get those people to actually think about just what the believe is fact .....

    I wonder how many can identify AI generated talking heads from the flesh and blood one, and which ones are actually stating reality and not a narrative they must follow if they want to keep their job .....
